Matters of the heart
Summertime heart needing a fix
Across the room denims with your layered jacket
Have progressed to distressed jeans paired with a white tank and a shirt with graphics
As you head to the movies, holding popcorn and a gummy bear packet
It was waves that hit the shores, but the plot yearns for more
So, throwing caution to the wind, thinking this is a win
Head to thrift right above Glitter Bean at Has Bin
I call, it heads to voicemail, that ship has sailed
Matters of the heart, well that’s an art
Maybe being honest with intentions should have been the way to start
Could it be, could it not, felt like crushed velvet on the wayside
Felt like it was time to run and hide
A ray of light walks in, with a swipe, could this app be worth the hype
Will time be in our favour, so we try different ice creams
Someone with a personality and coloured hair, are you more than just my type
Got me looking at my phone screen while on my face a light beams
Now in a black trench lined with fur, I walk in the snow
From my eyes, memories of the last three months stream
Matters of the heart, well that’s an art
Well, you treated my heart like a board, and you threw a dart
Giving it my all, I’m convinced that I can make life a ball
Hop into my Sambas, I know you like to waltz, do opposites attract
Or is this going to be another reason my heart does a fall
Meeting your friends is where I felt it was time to retract
Hitting the town, watching you under the hand of an influence
Is it you or the image that has got me attract
A melting pot of lines and white lies with Dior and Prada
That shopping trip downtown, haven’t seen you since
Matters of the heart, well that’s an art
Looking good for pictures, I was the only one doing my part
Different from the rest, could this be what I need
Ditching my Crocs for boots
To my friend’s advice, I should have given heed
Hitting the outdoors worlds apart from parties and glitzy shoots
Got you wrapped around my finger like a rose to its stem
But when the petals fell off it was thorny lies
At least now, my baggy pants do not need a hem
Swore I saw stars in your eyes, but after a while, even a star dies
Matters of the heart, well that’s an art
Was it doomed from the start? At least I got your Carhartt
Poles apart, but your quiet charm had me chasing
Had a good thing but our quick story had me pacing
Walking back doors so no one could spot us, we ignored the red flags
We walked back from the store with our tote bags
Did not make sense on paper but in my head
It was a storybook that deserved to be read
Guess that is what happens when you catch feelings too late
You watch as they go with another on a first date
Matters of the heart, well that’s an art
Was able to detach quickly for which I do feel smart
Feels like the apple from Eden
Friends telling me that you are gonna leave my heart bleeding
Your private school charm, Ralph Lauren models aim to exude
Winter is here, with the holiday season cheer
What’s got you scared, is it rejection or fear
Stores bringing out new collections for summer or fall
Conversations with a mirror-like talking to a wall
Empathy and compassion are virtues you could try to learn
Some things cannot be fixed with a flight ticket to Toronto or Melbourne
Matters of the heart, well that’s an art
Guess I am clueless when it comes to matters of the heart!
